St. Mary's Church

The Gospel this weekend presents the image of the Kingdom of God as a small mustard seed, which grows into an abundant place of safety and protection for all the birds of the air. As I continue to meet many of you and to witness your generosity and kindness, I am reminded that in large and small ways you are fulfilling this Gospel by making our parish a place where many can find safety and rest for their souls.

Dear ladies of the parish, high school age and up, please join us for the next gathering of the Women of the Well Prayer Group. Due to a scheduling conflict, the June meeting will take place on Saturday, June 5th at 9:15 AM in the Hospitality Room. We hope that you join us!

Over the past two weeks I have been privileged to meet many of you, celebrate the Holy Eucharist with you, and to continue to pray for Father Redmond that he is enjoying the light and peace of our merciful God in heaven.

You will see some changes at St Mary as we return to a new and hopefully better normal environment in our operation and liturgies. In the weeks ahead we want to make certain that our members who feel at all uncomfortable will still have the opportunity to maintain distancing, wear masks and have a clean space to worship.

Together, the Bishops of Ohio have decided that the general obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (including the Saturday/Vigil Mass) is to be reinstated (CIC, can. 1247). This will take effect in each of the Dioceses of Ohio the weekend of June 5-6, 2021.
